 Scientists have always searched for

patterns, regularities and symmetries

in nature.
 The elements, the building blocks of
matter, are listed in the table
 Julius Lothar Meyer was
one of the pioneers in
developing the
first periodic
table of chemical
elements.
Both Mendeleev and
Meyer worked with Robert
Bunsen.
 He never used his first
given name, and was
known throughout his life
simply as Lothar Meyer.
 He formulated
the Periodic Law,
created a farsighted
version of the periodic
table of elements, and
used it to correct the
properties of some
already discovered
elements and also to
predict the properties of
eight elements yet to
be discovered.
 LotharMeyer and Dmitri Mendeleev
both came up with periodic tables that
showed how elements should be grouped.
 The modern periodic table organize
elements in such a way that
information about the elements and
their compounds are easily revealed.
 The vertical columns of the periodic
table, called groups, identify the
principal families of elements.
 Group1 Alkali Metal
 Group2 Alkaline Earth Metals
 Group17 Halogens
 Group18 Noble Gasses
 Group 16 Oxygen
 The elements are group into blocks or
series in the periodic table.
 Refer to the figure, group3-12
constitutes one block wherein elements
in this block are referred as the
transition elements.
 The lanthanides and actinides are
special series of elements but are also
part of the transition block, they are also
called the inner transition elements.
 The physical properties of metals
include luster, malleability, ductility,
and conductivity.
 The reactivity of metals can cause
deterioration of materials.
 The gradual wearing away of a metal
due to interaction with other substances
is called corrosion.
 Metallic property relates to how easy
it is for an atom to lose an electron.
On the other hand, nonmetallic
property relates to how easy it is for
an atom to gain an electron.
 A model of electronic structure which
presents a picture where electrons
occupy regions around the nucleus
called electron shells. These are also
called energy level.
 The lowest energy level is the one
nearest to the nucleus. This is the
energy level that electrons occupy first.
 It can accommodate a maximum of 2
electrons .
 If there are more than 2 electrons, they
occupy the succeeding higher energy
level.
 The highest energy level that an
electron occupies is referred to as the
outermost shell or valence shell.
 The electrons in the valence shells
are called valence electrons.
 These electrons are the ones involved
in chemical reactions.
